14,988,640 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The shareholders listed beginning on page 11 below are offering and
selling up to 14,988,640 shares of our common stock under this prospectus. Our
company is not selling any shares of common stock in this offering. As a result,
we will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The shares of common stock are being offered for sale on a "best efforts"
basis by the selling shareholders at prices established on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board during the term of this offering. There are no minimum purchase
requirements. These prices will fluctuate based on the demand for the shares of
common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under
the symbol "AVSG." On July 1, 2000, the last reported sale price of our common
stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was $0.53125 per share.
THESE SECURITIES ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
PLEASE REFER TO "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 6.

Per share $0.500 $7,494,320

Bulletin Board. For the purposes of this table, we have used the average of
the bid and asked price as of July 1, 2000.
Neither our company nor the selling shareholders have engaged an

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE COMPANY
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Avid Sportswear, Inc., we design,
manufacture and market distinctive premium and moderately-priced sportswear. We
sell our products primarily through golf pro shops and resorts, corporate sales
accounts and better specialty stores. Our sportswear is marketed under the
following labels:
o Avid Sportswear;
o Dockers Golf; and
o British Open Collection.
We market sportswear under the "Avid Sportswear" label, in both premium
and moderately-priced product categories. Our moderately-priced product category
is marketed under the "Dockers Golf" label, while our premium-priced product
category is marketed under the "British Open Collection" label. Eventually our
product line may include non-apparel, golf-related products. Our products
feature distinctive, comfortable designs made primarily of natural fibers. All
of our products are manufactured by independent contractors. Embroidering,
warehousing and certain other functions are performed in a leased facility
located in Gardena, California. Our goal is to become one of the most recognized
and respected brands in sports apparel by expansion of existing labels,
purchasing other apparel businesses or licensing other brand names. We believe
this industry is highly fragmented and ripe for consolidation.
We were formed on September 19, 1997 in Nevada under the name Golf
Innovations Corp. We had no significant operations until March 1, 1999, at which
time we acquired Avid Sportswear, Inc. From its inception on October 6, 1988 in
California, Avid Sportswear, Inc.'s business has involved the design,
manufacture and marketing of golf apparel. On March 1, 1999, Avid Sportswear,
Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary and it continues to operate as a
separate legal entity. To better identify ourselves with the "Avid Sportswear"
brand, we changed our name to Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. on May 27, 1999. All
of our operations are conducted through Avid Sportswear, Inc.
INDUSTRY
Our target customers are sports-minded professional men and women who like
casual, high-quality and distinctively styled apparel that reflects an active
lifestyle. We believe golf's popularity has risen in recent years. According to
the National Golf Foundation and McKinsey & Company, the number of rounds played
in the United States was 530 million rounds in 1998 and is projected to increase
to 630 million rounds in 2010. Over this same time frame, according to the
National Golf Foundation and McKinsey & Company, the number of golfers in the
United States is projected to increase from 26 million golfers in 1998 to 29
million golfers by 2010. The National Golf Foundation projects the market for
sales of sportswear apparel sold through all golf facilities to increase between
3% to 5% annually through 2005. We believe there are over 4,500 golf pro shops
and 1,000 better specialty stores in the United States.
STRATEGY
Our goal is to become one of the most recognized and respected brands in
sports apparel. Key elements of our business strategy include:
o EXPAND PRODUCT LINE. We intend to expand our product line by
licensing or purchasing existing brands of sportswear. We expect to
target brands which will complement the existing brands by filling a
perceived market niche, having name recognition and/or offering new
price points. We believe this strategy is best demonstrated by the
purchase of the "Avid Sportswear" label and the license of the
"Dockers Golf" and "British Open Collection" labels.
o MARKET PENETRATION OF EXISTING LABELS. We hope to leverage our
brands into greater shelf space by cross-promoting our products and
by offering in-store fixturing programs. In addition, we intend to
hire additional sales staff and independent sales representatives to
broaden our customer base. We currently sell to over 800 customers
3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the United States. We estimate that the United States market is
comprised of more than 4,500 golf pro shops and 1,000 better
specialty stores. We intend to use our labels and sales staff to
broaden our customer base and increase our average order size.
o INTERNATIONAL MARKETS. We believe the international markets will
provide us with new opportunities for the Avid Sportswear label and
other labels we may acquire in the future. We intend to enter these
markets by using distributors and licensees who are familiar with
the local markets. We believe international markets are receptive to
American lifestyle apparel brands in general and will be receptive
to the Avid Sportswear label in particular.

RISK FACTORS
Our Company is subject to various risks which may materially harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER INFORMATION
IN THIS FILING BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK. THESE ARE NOT THE
ONLY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT WE FACE. IF ANY OF THESE RISKS OR
UNCERTAINTIES ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR OPERATING
RESULTS COULD BE MATERIALLY HARMED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE AND YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY LOST MONEY AND LOSSES MAY CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE
We have historically lost money. In the three months ended March 31, 2000
and the year ended December 31, 1999, we sustained losses of $2.6 million and
$5.0 million, respectively. Future losses are likely to occur. Our independent
auditors have noted that our company does not have significant cash or other
material assets to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a
going concern. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our
ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, we may experience
significant liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to raise
additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms. No assurances can be given
that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.
WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FINANCE OPERATIONS
We have relied on significant external financing to fund our operations.
Such financing has historically come from a combination of borrowings and sale
of common stock from third parties and funds provided by certain officers and
directors. We may need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated
operating expenses and future expansion. Among other things, external financing
may be required to cover our operating costs and to fulfill our obligations
under the licenses for the "Dockers Golf" and "British Open Collection" brands.
These licenses require the payment of minimum guaranteed royalties, whether we
sell licensed products or not. We cannot assure you that financing whether from
external sources or related parties will be available if needed or on favorable
terms. The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause dilution to our
existing shareholders. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in
the need to curtail business operations, and may also jeopardize our ability to
satisfy the guaranteed minimum royalty obligations referred to above. Such an
event may result in the termination of our licenses. Any of these events would
be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.
SALE OF COMMON STOCK IN THIS OFFERING MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE
Upon the effective date of this prospectus, the selling shareholders will
be permitted to freely sell their shares of common stock in the open market.
These selling shareholders hold 14,988,640 shares of common stock, representing
32.6% of our company's outstanding capital stock. The sale of these shares,
without a corresponding demand, may cause our stock price to decline.
WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME
Because we have been in business for a short period of time, there is
limited information upon which investors can evaluate our business. We were
formed on September 19, 1997 but did not begin significant operations until the
purchase of our wholly-owned subsidiary on March 1, 1999. You should consider
the likelihood of our future success to be highly speculative in view of our
limited operating history, as well as the complications frequently encountered
by other companies in the early stages of development, particularly companies in
the highly competitive sports apparel industry.
WE RELY ON FOREIGN SUPPLIERS AND BUY MANY PRODUCTS USING LETTERS OF CREDIT
We obtain all of our garments from independent foreign and domestic
suppliers. We do not have formal agreements with these suppliers. Our reliance
on foreign suppliers may be affected by economic, political, governmental and
6
<PAGE>
labor conditions in such foreign countries. This may delay or cut-off our
ability to source materials needed in production or may increase the price of
such materials. Such events would harm our business. In addition, several of our
suppliers have required us to obtain a letter of credit prior to purchasing any
garments. The Company may have to utilize a significant portion of its available
working capital to secure these letters of credit.
WE MAY BE HARMED BY IMPORT RESTRICTIONS
Our imported materials are subject to certain quota restrictions and U.S.
customs duties, which are a material part of our cost of goods. A decrease in
quota restrictions or an increase in customs duties could harm our business by
making needed materials scarce or by increasing the cost of such materials.
OUR COMMON STOCK MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY
Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the
future, significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect
the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating
performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations
in our financial results, announcements by other designers and marketers of
sportswear, and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial
markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE DEEMED TO BE "PENNY STOCK"
Our common stock may be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined
in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny
stocks are stock:
o With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
o That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
o Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system
(Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00
per share); or
o In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or
$5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years),
or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last
three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential
investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover,
broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock
is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may
reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of
potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common
stock to resell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This
could cause our stock price to decline.
OUR STOCK PRICE COULD DECLINE DUE TO SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS IN THE DEMAND FOR OUR
PRODUCTS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Our business has been, and will continue to be, highly seasonal, and our
quarterly operating results will fluctuate due to the seasonality of our sales
of sportswear, among other things. Our sales tend to be highest during our first
and second calendar quarters (i.e., January through June), and lowest during our
third and fourth calendar quarters (i.e., July through December). Other factors
contributing to the variability of our operating results include:
o Seasonal fluctuation in consumer demand;
o The timing and amount of orders from key customers; and
o The timing and magnitude of sales of seasonal remainder merchandise
and availability of products.
In addition, any downturn, whether real or perceived, in general economic
conditions or prospects could change consumer spending habits and decrease
demand for our products.
7
<PAGE>
As a result of these and other factors, our operating results may fall
below market analysts' expectations in some future quarters, and our stock price
may decline.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS EXERCISE CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Our executive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 45.4%
of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these shareholders acting together
would be able to exert significant influence over most matters requiring
shareholder approval, including the election of directors. They would also be
able to delay or deter a change in control, which may result in shareholders not
receiving a premium on their stock.
WE COULD FAIL TO ATTRACT OR RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL
Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives
and consultants, including Earl T. Ingarfield, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Jerry L. Busiere, our Secretary, Treasurer and a Director, and Barnum
Mow, Chief Executive Officer and President of our wholly-owned subsidiary and a
Director of our company. The loss of the services of any of these people could
materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to replace
and train such personnel. Such a loss would also divert management attention
away from operational issues. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr.
Busiere. We have entered into three year employment agreements with Mr.
Ingarfield and Mr. Mow, respectively. We do not maintain key-man life insurance
policies on any of these people.
WE FACE RISKS RELATED TO COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES
We extend credit to our customers based on an assessment of their
financial circumstances, generally without requiring collateral. Our business is
seasonal and we may, in the future, offer customer discounts for placing
pre-season orders and extended payment terms for taking delivery before the peak
shipping season. Any such extended payment terms increase our exposure to the
risk of uncollectible receivables. Some of our customers have experienced
financial difficulties in the past, and future financial difficulties of
customers could materially harm our business. We have a limited amount of
experience in managing our credit and collection operations. Our inability to
properly manage this credit risk and to collect trade credit will further strain
our cash position and hamper our ability to pay our bills.
WE COULD FAIL TO ANTICIPATE CHANGES IN FASHION TRENDS
Fashion trends can change rapidly, and our business is particularly
sensitive to such changes because we typically design and arrange for the
manufacture of our apparel substantially in advance of sales of our products to
consumers. We cannot assure you that we will accurately anticipate shifts in
fashion trends, or in the popularity of golf, and adjust our merchandise mix to
appeal to changing consumer tastes in apparel in a timely manner. If we misjudge
the market for our products or are unsuccessful in responding to changes in
fashion trends or in market demand, we could experience insufficient or excess
inventory levels, missed market opportunities or higher markdowns, any of which
could substantially harm our business and our brand image.
WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION IN OUR BUSINESS
The sportswear and outerwear segments of the apparel industry are highly
competitive. Competition is based primarily on brand recognition, product
differentiation and quality, style and production flexibility. Our future growth
and financial success depend on our ability to further penetrate and expand our
distribution channels, including golf, corporate, international and retail
sales. We encounter substantial competition in the golf distribution channel
from Polo/Ralph Lauren, Cutter & Buck, Ashworth, Antiqua and Izod. Many of our
competitors are significantly larger and more diversified than we are and have
substantially greater resources available for developing and marketing their
products. Many of our competitors' brands also have greater name recognition
than our brands. In addition, our competitors may be able to enter the emerging
e-commerce marketplace more quickly or more efficiently than us. We cannot
assure you that we will successfully compete in this industry.
8
<PAGE>
OUR FLEXIBILITY TO USE ANY CASH FROM OUR OPERATIONS OR EXTERNAL FINANCING MAY BE
LIMITED DUE TO MINIMUM ROYALTY PAYMENTS
We are required to pay minimum royalty payments under the licenses for the
"Dockers Golf" and "British Open Collection," whether we sell licensed products
or not. Our ability to use available cash as we see fit may be restricted due to
our obligation to pay these minimum royalty payments. This could place a strain
on our ability to pay other bills or to spend such cash in the most productive
manner. As a result, we may not be able to purchase equipment, to take advantage
of corporate opportunities or to maximize our operating results.
OUR PLANNED PURSUIT OF ACQUISITIONS INVOLVES RISKS THAT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As part of our growth strategy, we plan to pursue acquisitions. Candidates
for acquisition include businesses that are anticipated to allow us to:
o Achieve economies of scale in terms of purchasing, distribution and
profitability;
o Enhance our name recognition and reputation;
o Obtain rights to well-recognized brand names;
o Fill a perceived market niche; or
o Acquire products offering new price points.
If we are not correct when we assess the value, strength, weaknesses,
liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates or we are not
successful in integrating the operations of the acquired businesses, our results
of operations or financial position could be adversely affected and we could
lose money. We also may not be successful in finding desirable acquisition
candidates or completing acquisitions with candidates that we identify. Future
acquisitions that we finance through issuing equity securities could be dilutive
to existing shareholders. In addition, future acquisitions may require
additional capital and the consent of our lenders. There can be no assurances
that our lenders will consent to any capital raising or acquisitions.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE GROWTH
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage
our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and
financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:
o Implement changes in certain aspects of our business;
o Enhance our information systems and operations to respond to
increased demand;
o Attract and retain qualified personnel; and
o Develop, train and manage an increasing number of management-level
and other employees.
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial
condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price
may decline.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of
our company's common stock owned by the selling shareholders may be effected
directly to purchasers by the selling shareholders or by pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors in interest, as principals or through one or
more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more
transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) in the
over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our
company's shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise
than in the over-the-counter market, or in any other market on which the price
of our company's shares of common stock are quoted. Any of such transactions may
be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of
sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling
shareholders or by agreement between the selling shareholders and underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling shareholders effect
such transactions by selling their shares of our company's common stock to or
through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchaser of
common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or
commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in
excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). The selling
shareholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the
distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any
profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or
commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock
may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. We will inform the selling shareholders that any underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling shareholders
must be registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in
certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have
been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and
sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than
commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We
have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders and their controlling persons
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We
estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by it will be
approximately $180,000. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of
the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders.
We will inform the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation
provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to purchases and
sales of shares of common stock by the selling shareholders, and that there are
restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution
of the shares. We will advise the selling shareholders that if a particular
offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from
the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then
to the extent required, a Prospectus Supplement must be distributed setting
forth such terms and related information as required.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF OUR COMPANY AND THE NOTES THERETO APPEARING
ELSEWHERE IN THIS FILING.
OVERVIEW
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, we design, manufacture and market
distinctive premium and moderately-priced sportswear. We sell our products
primarily through golf pro shops and resorts, corporate sales accounts and
better specialty stores. Our sportswear is marketed under three distinct labels:
Avid Sportswear, British Open Collection and Dockers Golf. From our
incorporation on September 19, 1997 until March 1, 1999, we had no operations.
On March 1, 1999, we acquired Avid Sportswear, Inc., which has been in the
business of designing, manufacturing and marketing golf apparel since October 6,
1988. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a purchase of Avid
Sportswear, Inc. All of our business operations are conducted through Avid
Sportswear, Inc.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
ADDITIONAL FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES. As of March 31, 2000, we had $654,992
of cash-on-hand. We have historically funded our operations through a
combination of internally generated cash, funds loaned to our company by certain
of its officers and directors and through the sale of securities. Since March
31, 2000, we have raised approximately $4.9 million from the sale of securities.
We may need to raise additional funds to meet expected demand for our products
in 2000 and beyond. Expenses are anticipated to increase in preparation of the
upcoming season due to, among other things, the addition of the Dockers Golf and
British Open Collection labels. If we underestimate demand or incur unforeseen
expenses in our product design or other areas, such funds may be required
earlier.
SUMMARY OF ANTICIPATED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. We spent approximately
$350,000 on product development in 1999 and expect to spend approximately
$500,000 on product development in 2000 in preparing for future seasons and in
designing products for the Dockers Golf and British Open Collection labels.
Because these product development efforts are in their infancy, we expect these
efforts to continue into the foreseeable future. Initially, these efforts are
expected to focus on golf-related apparel and may eventually include other types
of apparel. Even after our product lines mature, we expect product development
to remain a significant expense due to changing fashions and other factors. We
expect a national roll-out of our Dockers Golf and British Open Collection
labels in the Fall of 2000.
SIGNIFICANT PLANT AND EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. In 2000, we expect to purchase
computer hardware and software, telephone and embroidery equipment. We estimate
that the cost of this equipment to be approximately $1,000,000.
18
<PAGE>
CHANGES IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. We currently have 60 employees. As shown
in the following chart, we anticipate hiring additional personnel during 2000 in
connection with our expected growth plans. We believe that these personnel will
be adequate to accomplish the tasks set forth in the plan.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods presented, the percentage
of net sales represented by certain items in our company's Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

<PAGE>
THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
Our results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999,
included one month of operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Avid
Sportswear, Inc. We acquired Avid Sportswear, Inc. on March 1, 1999. Our results
of operations in the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, included three
months of operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary.
SALES, NET. Sales, net increased $0.6 million, or 159.2%, from $0.4
million to $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the
same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the
operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Avid Sportswear, Inc. The three-month
period ended March 31, 2000, included three months of operating results compared
to one month of operating results in the same period in the prior year.
COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold increased $0.6 million, or 522.7%,
from $0.1 million to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of goods sold as a
percentage of sales, net, increased from 31.3% in the three months ended March
31, 1999 to 75.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was
primarily attributable to increased sales, net and the higher cost of materials
incurred in connection with the introduction of the Dockers Golf and British
Open Collection product lines.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $17,689 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales, net decreased from 68.7% to 24.8% in the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable
to the increase in cost of goods sold in the current period compared to the same
period in the prior year.
SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased $0.5 million, or 442.5%, from
$0.1 million to $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared
to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable
to the start-up costs incurred in connection with the introduction of the
Dockers Golf and British Open Collection product lines.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased $0.2 million, or 13.2%, from $1.6 million to $1.9 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year. This
increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of common stock for
services, including 1.2 million shares of common stock issued to Barnum Mow, a
director of our company and Chief Executive Officer of our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Avid Sportswear, Inc. and options to purchase a total of 1.0 million
shares of common stock issued below market value to Earl T. Ingarfield, our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our company, Thomas Browning, a director
of our company, Michael LaValliere, a director of our company, and two
shareholders of our company. These options were granted in exchange for personal
guaranties of corporate indebtedness. These options accounted for approximately
$0.3 million of general and administrative expenses in the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 441.0%, in
the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to the same period in the
prior year. This increase consisted primarily of $0.2 million of interest
expense to reflect a discount given in connection with the conversion of debt to
equity. In total, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, $0.6
million of debt was converted into 1.9 million shares of common stock at an
average price of $0.314 per share.
NET LOSS. Net loss increased $1.1 million, or 68.8%, from $1.5 million to
$2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same
period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the
increase in cost of goods sold, general and administrative expenses and interest
expense in the three-month period ended March 31, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2000, we had $654,992 in cash-on-hand, consisting mainly
of the net proceeds from the sale of common stock. A discussion of how we
generated and used cash in the period follows:
20
<PAGE>
OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Our operating activities used $2.0 million in cash
during the three month period ended March 31, 2000, consisting mainly of a net
loss of $2.5 million, partially offset by common stock issued for services
valued at $0.4 million.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Our investing activities used $0.5 million in cash
during the three month period ended March 31, 2000, consisting mainly of the
purchase of sewing, folding and steam machines and embroidery equipment.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Financing activities provided net cash of $2.9
million, generated mainly by the sale of common stock in the amount of $2.4
million and the receipt of net loan proceeds of $0.5 million.
Since March 31, 2000, we have funded our operations primarily through the
sale of our common stock in a private offering. We have raised approximately
$4.9 million from the sale of our common stock at a price of $0.35 per share in
a private offering. Expenses are anticipated to increase in preparation of the
upcoming season due to, among other things, the addition of the Dockers Golf and
British Open Collection labels. Our need for funding will increase likewise. If
we underestimate demand or incur unforeseen expenses in our product design or
other areas, such funds may be required earlier.
SEASONALITY
Our business has been, and will continue to be, highly seasonal, and our
quarterly operating results will fluctuate due to the seasonality of our sales
of sportswear, among other things. Our sales tend to be highest during our first
and second calendar quarters (i.e., January through June), and lowest during our
third and fourth calendar quarters (i.e., July through December). Other factors
contributing to the variability of our operating results include:
o Seasonal fluctuation in consumer demand;
o The timing and amount of orders from key customers; and
o The timing and magnitude of sales of close-out merchandise and
availability of products.
As a result of these and other factors, our operating results may fall
below market analysts' expectations in some future quarters, which could
materially harm the market price of our common stock.
GOING CONCERN OPINION
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their
audit opinions issued in connection with the 1999 and 1998 financial statements
which states that our company does not have significant cash or other material
assets to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going
concern. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

of our products are manufactured by independent contractors. Embroidering,
warehousing and certain other functions are performed in a leased facility
located in Gardena, California. Our goal is to become one of the most recognized
and respected brands in sports apparel by expansion of existing labels,
purchasing other apparel businesses or licensing other brand names. We believe
this industry is highly fragmented and ripe for consolidation.
We were formed on September 19, 1997 in Nevada under the name Golf
Innovations Corp. We had no significant operations until March 1, 1999, at which
time we acquired Avid Sportswear, Inc. From its inception on October 6, 1988 in
California, Avid Sportswear, Inc.'s business has involved the design,
manufacture and marketing of golf apparel. On March 1, 1999, Avid Sportswear,
Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary and it continues to operate as a
separate legal entity. To better identify ourselves with the "Avid Sportswear"
brand, we changed our name to Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. on May 27, 1999. All
of our operations are conducted through Avid Sportswear, Inc.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
We have historically lost money. For the three-months ended March 31,
2000, we sustained losses of $2.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 1999,
we sustained losses of $5.0 million. Our independent auditors have noted that
our company does not have significant cash or other material assets to cover its
operating costs and to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, we may
experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to
raise additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms. For more information
concerning our financial performance, please see "Risk Factors - We Have
Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the Future" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation."
PURCHASE OF AVID SPORTSWEAR, INC.
On December 18, 1998, we entered into an agreement to purchase Avid
Sportswear, Inc. from its shareholders. The purchase was completed on March 1,
1999. We paid $725,000 in cash and issued 1,100,000 shares of our common stock
to the former shareholders of Avid Sportswear, Inc. In connection with the
purchase, we were required to advance $1,826,111 to Avid Sportswear, Inc. to be
used to satisfy certain liabilities owed by Avid Sportswear, Inc. Avid
Sportswear, Inc. remains liable for any liabilities which existed on March 1,
1999. We received standard representations and warranties from the former
shareholders of Avid Sportswear, Inc., who also agreed to indemnify us for
certain events.
LICENSES TO USE CERTAIN TRADEMARKS
Of the three labels our products are marketed under, the "Dockers Golf"
and "British Open Collection" are licensed from their respective owners. The
"Avid Sportswear" label is owned by our wholly-owned subsidiary. A description
of these licenses follows:
22
<PAGE>
BRITISH OPEN COLLECTION. On December 8, 1998, our wholly-owned subsidiary
obtained the sole and exclusive right and license to use certain trademarks
associated with the British Open Golf Championship. The licensor is The
Championship Committee Merchandising Limited, which is the exclusive licensor of
certain trademarks from The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland.
This license is for the United States and its territories and has a seven year
term. Under this license, our wholly-owned subsidiary may manufacture,
advertise, distribute and sell products bearing the licensed trademarks to
specialty stores and the menswear departments of department stores. It is not
permitted to sell these products to discount stores or mass-market retail
chains. In return for this license, our wholly-owned subsidiary must pay the
licensor, on a quarterly basis, a royalty equal to five percent of net wholesale
sales of products bearing these trademarks, subject to a guaranteed minimum
royalty. Net wholesale sales means the invoiced wholesale billing price, less
shipping, discounts actually given, duties, insurance, sales taxes, value-added
taxes and credits allowed for returns or defective merchandise. Our wholly-owned
subsidiary may also deduct uncollectible accounts up to a total of five percent
of such sales. The guaranteed minimum royalty is as follows:
CONTRACT YEAR: MINIMUM ROYALTY:
-------------- ----------------
1 $100,000
2 $125,000
3 $150,000
4 $175,000
5 $200,000
6 $200,000
7 $200,000
The licensor has the right to approve or disapprove in advance of sale the
quality, style, color, appearance, material and workmanship of all licensed
products and packaging. It may also approve or disapprove any and all
endorsements, trademarks, trade names, designs and logos used in connection with
the license. Our wholly-owned subsidiary must submit samples of the licensed
products to the licensor for examination and approval or disapproval prior to
sale.
DOCKERS GOLF. On May 10, 1999, our wholly-owned subsidiary obtained the
exclusive, non-assignable right to use the "Dockers Golf" trademark solely in
connection with the manufacturing, advertising, distribution and sale of
products to approved retailers. The licensor is Levi Strauss & Co. This license
is for the United States, its territories and Bermuda. It has an initial term
expiring on December 31, 2003 and will renew for an additional three year term
expiring December 31, 2006 if: (i) net sales of the licensed products for
calendar year 2002 are at least $17.0 million and (ii) our wholly-owned
subsidiary has not violated any material provisions of the license. Thereafter,
the licensor will negotiate in good faith for up to two additional three year
terms if: (i) the license is renewed for the initial renewal period, (ii) our
wholly-owned subsidiary's net sales for each year in the initial renewal period
have exceeded its projected sales for each such year and (iii) our wholly-owned
subsidiary has not violated any material provisions of the license. Subject to a
guaranteed minimum royalty, our wholly-owned subsidiary must pay the licensor a
royalty of six percent of net sales of first quality products and four percent
of net sales of second quality products and close-out or end-of-season products.
If second quality products and close-out or end-of-season products account for
more than ten percent of total licensed product sales, then the royalty on such
products will be six percent instead of four percent. The guaranteed minimum
royalty is as follows:
CONTRACT YEAR: MINIMUM ROYALTY:
-------------- ----------------
1 $250,000
2 $540,000
3 $765,000
4 $990,000
The guaranteed minimum royalty in the initial renewal period, if any, will
be equal to seventy-five percent of our wholly-owned subsidiary's projected
earned royalty derived from the sales plan provided for each annual period
contained in the initial renewal period. The guaranteed minimum royalty is
payable quarterly, except for the first year in which it is payable as follows:
$25,000 on March 31, 2000, $50,000 on June 30, 2000, $75,000 on September 30,
2000 and $100,000 on December 31, 2000.
23
<PAGE>
Our wholly-owned subsidiary is required to spend at least three percent of
its projected sales of licensed products for each year on advertising for this
brand. Between June 1, 1999 and December 31, 1999, it was required to spend at
least $240,000 on initial product launch advertising. The license requires our
wholly-owned subsidiary to produce two collections per year for the
spring/summer and winter/fall seasons, in at least 52 styles, of which 40 must
be tops and 12 bottoms. The licensor has the right to approve or disapprove in
advance of sale the trademark use, styles, designs, dimensions, details, colors,
materials, workmanship, quality or otherwise, and packaging. The licensor also
has the right to approve or disapprove any and all endorsements, trademarks,
trade names, designs and logos used in connection with the license. Samples of
the licensed products must be submitted to the licensor for examination and
approval or disapproval prior to sale.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our goal is to become one of the most recognized and respected brands in
sports apparel. Key elements of our business strategy include:
o EXPAND PRODUCT LINE. We intend to expand our product line by
licensing or purchasing existing brands of sportswear. We expect to
target brands which will complement the existing brands by filling a
perceived market niche, having name recognition and/or offering new
price points. We believe this strategy is best demonstrated by the
purchase of the "Avid Sportswear" label and the license of the
"Dockers Golf" and "British Open Collection" labels.
o MARKET PENETRATION OF EXISTING LABELS. We hope to leverage our
brands into greater shelf space by cross-promoting our products and
by offering in-store fixturing programs. In addition, we intend to
hire additional sales staff and independent sales representatives to
broaden our customer base. We currently sell to over 800 customers
in the United States. We estimate that the United States market is
comprised of more than 4,500 golf pro shops and 1,000 better
specialty stores. We intend to use our labels and sales staff to
broaden our customer base and increase our average order size.
o INTERNATIONAL MARKETS. We believe the international markets will
provide us with new opportunities for the Avid Sportswear label and
other labels we may acquire in the future. We intend to enter these
markets by using distributors and licensees who are familiar with
the local markets. We believe international markets are receptive to
American lifestyle apparel brands in general and will be receptive
to the Avid Sportswear label in particular.
MARKET
Our target customers are sports-minded professional men and women who like
casual, high-quality and distinctively styled apparel that reflects an active
lifestyle. We believe golf's popularity has risen in recent years. According to
the National Golf Foundation and McKinsey & Company, the number of rounds played
in the United States was 530 million rounds in 1998 and is projected to increase
to 630 million rounds in 2010. Over this same time frame, according to the
National Golf Foundation and McKinsey & Company, the number of golfers in the
United States is projected to increase from 26 million golfers in 1998 to 29
million golfers by 2010. The National Golf Foundation projects the market for
sales of sportswear apparel sold through all golf facilities to increase between
3% to 5% annually through 2005. As indicated above, we believe there are over
4,500 golf pro shops and 1,000 better specialty stores in the United States.
COMPETITION
The sportswear and outerwear segments of the apparel industry are highly
competitive. Competition is based primarily on brand recognition, product
differentiation and quality, style and production flexibility. Five companies
account for about one-quarter of all apparel sales in the industry. These
companies are: Polo/Ralph Lauren, Cutter & Buck, Ashworth, Antiqua and Izod.
Between 200 and 300 companies account for the remaining apparel sales in the
industry. Many of these companies have greater resources and sell brands with
greater name recognition than us. We are attempting to differentiate ourselves
from our competitors by purchasing or licensing well-established brand names and
producing high quality, stylish sportswear.
24
<PAGE>
PRODUCTS
We design industry-leading products which feature high-quality materials,
such as fine-gauge combed cotton, virgin wools and performance microfibers. Our
products are finished with unique trims, special fabric finishes and washes and
extra needlework. All of our manufacturing is outsourced to independent
contractors. We offer distinctive products under the following three labels:
o Avid Sportswear;
o Dockers Golf; and
o British Open Collection.
AVID SPORTSWEAR. The Avid Sportswear label is designed exclusively for the
men's market and is sold in the premium and mid-priced product categories. This
product line features higher quality materials and sewing, and more detailed
designs in the premium category than in the mid-priced category. It is marketed
to golfers and others.
DOCKERS GOLF. The Dockers Golf label is designed for the men's market. It
is marketed to brand-conscious golfers seeking moderately priced, high quality
golf apparel. This label appeals to the casual market, and is rugged and
durable.
BRITISH OPEN COLLECTION. The British Open Collection label is designed for
the men's market. It is marketed exclusively as a premium brand, and will
combine the elegance and tradition that characterizes the British Open Golf
Tournament. This label is made of the finest quality material and features
detailed designs and embroidery.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our experienced product development team determines product strategy,
color and fabric selection. With respect to the "British Open Collection" and
"Dockers Golf" labels, the respective licensors have the right to approve or
disapprove the design and other aspects of our products prior to sale and may
require modifications. Our design and production teams coordinate product
development, negotiate price and quantity with cutting and sewing contractors,
purchase fabrics and trim, and establish production scheduling. These teams also
coordinate the inspection of fabric deliveries and perform fabric testing for
shrinkage and color-fastness. Except for embroidering, all manufacturing is
outsourced to independent contractors. We do not have any long-term agreements
with our contractors. Our quality control personnel are responsible for
inspecting finished goods on arrival from our contractors.
The production of our product lines is time sensitive. Due to seasonal
variations in the demand for golf apparel, we are required to forecast market
demand, place raw material orders and schedule cutting and sewing services in
order to have inventory available to meet projected sales. Our designs are
usually finalized between six and nine months prior to the display of our
seasonal product lines by customers. We design for two collections per year, the
spring/summer and winter/fall seasons. Collections are shipped about three to
four months in advance of display by our customers.
Since we did not begin significant operations until March 1, 1999, the
date we acquired Avid Sportswear, Inc., we did not spend any money on product
development in 1998 or 1997. We spent approximately $350,000 in 1999 and
$250,000 in 1998. We expect to spend approximately $500,000 in 2000 on product
development. None of these costs were borne directly by our customers.
SOURCES OF SUPPLY
The design staff is responsible for creating innovative products for our
two seasonal collections. During the design process, our manufacturing sources
develop new seasonal textiles in association with the design team. This enables
us to source a wide variety of textile and printed artwork designs. Our
materials are sourced from a wide variety of domestic and foreign suppliers. The
only key supplier we significantly rely on is Levi Strauss & Co., which sources
some of the products sold under the Dockers Golf label. We believe we can
replace the loss of any supplier other than Levi Strauss & Co. without causing
any material harm to our business.
25
<PAGE>
DISTRIBUTION AND SALES
GENERAL. Our products are distributed in the United States primarily
through golf pro shops, resorts and specialty stores. Our products are sold
through a dedicated sales staff as well as independent sales representatives. As
of May 31, 2000, our sales staff was composed of five employees and thirty-one
independent sales representatives. Each employee or sales representative is
responsible for serving targeted accounts in a specific geographic region
through merchandise consultation and training, and for meeting specific account
growth and average-order-size goals. They present our collections each season at
national and regional trade shows and at customers' stores through promotional
literature and samples. In addition to other responsibilities, these employees
and sales representatives implement our merchandise fixturing program with
suitable golf pro shops, resorts and specialty stores. Our products are
typically sold on open account with payment required within thirty days.
Department stores and other chains may require extended credit terms as a
condition to carrying a product line. We will where required conform to this
industry practice.
AVID SPORTSWEAR. The Avid Sportswear product line is distributed in the
United States primarily through golf pro shops, resorts and specialty stores.
This product line is an approved vendor with Collegiate Licensing Company and
sells to several professional sports teams.
BRITISH OPEN COLLECTION. The British Open Collection product line is
distributed in the United States primarily through department stores and
high-end golf pro shops. In the upcoming season, we intend to expand our
customer base by targeting high-end golf pro shops, resorts and specialty
stores.
DOCKERS GOLF. The Dockers Golf product line is distributed in the United
States primarily through golf pro shops and specialty golf stores. We believe
this product line will have broad appeal and expect to target traditional mass
merchandise retail outlets as well as the golf pro shops, resorts and specialty
stores.
MERCHANDISING AND MARKETING
We believe our three labels are well-positioned to cater to three distinct
product categories - the larger size, premium-priced and moderately-priced
product categories. Avid Sportswear features harder-to-find, larger sizes in the
premium and moderately priced product categories. The British Golf Collection is
an upscale, premium priced product line, and the Dockers Golf is a brand
conscious, moderately priced product line. We hope to leverage these brands to
expand our product offerings, customer base and average-order-size. All of our
products have golf-themes and are color-related. Our labels are generally
featured prominently on our products and displays to help build brand loyalty.
Our products are directed at sports-minded professional men who like casual,
high-quality and distinctively styled apparel that reflects an active lifestyle.
We expect our product lines to appeal to both golfers and others who identify
with an active lifestyle.
We currently advertise in national and regional trade magazines and
participate in various trade shows. Our products are also marketed on the World
Wide Web at http://www.avidsportswear.com, where we provide information and
pictures of products. Our promotional program offers point-of-sale displays
maintained by our sales staff and independent sales representatives. This
in-store fixturing program helps to showcase these collections and enhances our
brand image at the point of sale. The fixtures are designed to display assorted
elements of our collections and allow the consumer to easily assemble and
purchase coordinated outfits.
Our merchandise is sold and shipped to customers in collection groups. We
believe this will help to reinforce the strength of our product offerings.
For specialty items, we have developed an in-house embroidery service and
also work with independent embroiderers to embroider the customer's name or logo
on our garments.
ORDER BOOKING CYCLE AND BACKLOG
We receive our orders for a season over a ten month period beginning when
samples are first shown to customers and continuing into the season. We begin to
take orders for our fall collections in January, generally for delivery between
May and October and for our spring collection in August, generally for delivery
between November and April. Our domestic backlog, which consists of open,
unfilled customer orders, has not historically comprised a significant part of
26
<PAGE>
our business. We expect our domestic backlog to become significant in the future
with the appeal of the Dockers Golf and British Open Collection labels.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We are attempting to build a brand name in the golf apparel industry. To
that end, we have received trademark protection in the United States for the
"Avid" name and logo. We are evaluating whether to apply for trademark
protection in other countries. Our name and logo are regarded as valuable assets
and critical to marketing our products.
The names and logos associated with the "British Open Collection" and
"Dockers Golf" are licensed from their respective owners.
STOCK AND OPTION ISSUANCES FOR PERSONAL GUARANTEES
Several individuals have personally guaranteed our lease obligations and
other corporate indebtedness. In exchange for these personal guarantees, our
company had agreed to issue the following individuals the number of shares of
common stock opposite their names:
NAME NUMBER OF SHARES

Earl T. Ingarfield 11,500,000
Thomas Browning 3,000,000
Michael LaValliere 3,000,000
Jeffrey Abrams 2,000,000

MR. INGARFIELD OBTAINED CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY ON JUNE 4, 1998
As mentioned earlier in this filing, we were formed on September 19, 1997
in Nevada. On or about June 4, 1998, Lido Capital Corporation, an entity
wholly-owned by our President, Mr. Ingarfield, purchased 3,000,000 shares of
common stock (adjusted for a 3 for 1 stock split) for $150,000 from our founding
shareholders, Thomas Gelfand, Robert Gelfand and Jin Sook Lee. At the time of
the purchase, our company had 6,300,000 shares of common stock outstanding
(adjusted for a 3 for 1 stock split). As a result, Mr. Ingarfield owned 47.6% of
our company's outstanding capital stock. Mr. Ingarfield currently owns 31.4% of
our company's outstanding capital stock.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the ultimate disposition of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on our company.

bonus (defined as an amount equal to the prior years' bonus) and benefits for
the lesser of the balance of the term or three years. In addition, Mr.
Ingarfield is entitled to certain relocation expenses incurred in a change of
principal residence. The agreement provides that Mr. Ingarfield will not compete
with our company during his employment and for two years thereafter unless his

Our wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a three year employment agreement
with Barnum Mow, commencing September 17, 1999. Upon the expiration of the
initial term, the agreement will automatically renew for one year terms unless
30
<PAGE>
either party elects not to renew the agreement by providing written notice to

until September, 1999, Mr. Roderick was employed as the President of Avid
Sportswear, Inc. In September, 1999, Mr. Roderick became the Executive Vice
President of Merchandising and Design. His base salary is $181,000, subject to

eligible for bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The employer
will reimburse Mr. Roderick for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the performance of his duties. Additional terms of employment are set forth

We have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Busiere.
STOCK PLAN
On January 17, 2000, we adopted our company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan,
under which our key employees, consultants, independent contractors, officers
and director are eligible to receive grants of stock or stock options. Our
company has reserved a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock under the
incentive plan. It is presently administered by the Board of Directors. Subject
to the provisions of the incentive plan, the Board of Directors has full and
final authority to select the individuals to whom options will be granted, to
grant the options and determine the terms and conditions and the number of
shares issued pursuant thereto.
The maximum term of any option granted under the incentive plan is ten
years, except that with respect to incentive stock options granted to a person
possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all our
classes of stock, the maximum term of such options is five years. The exercise
price of incentive stock options under the incentive plan is the fair-market
value of the stock underlying the options on the date of grant and, in the case
of an incentive stock option granted to a ten-percent shareholder, the exercise
price must be at least 110% of the fair-market value of our stock at the time
the option is granted.
On January 17, 2000, we granted stock options as follows:
NAME: NO. OF SHARES: EXERCISE PRICE: EXPIRATION:

Earl T. 200,000 $0.30 January 16, 2010

Thomas Browning 200,000 $0.30 January 16, 2010

Steven Ponsler 200,000 $0.30 January 16, 2010
Jeff Abrams 200,000 $0.30 January 16, 2010
These options were granted in exchange for these individuals' agreement to
personally guaranty certain obligations of our company, including leases for our
facilities. We do not believe that we could have obtained these leases without
the personal guarantees.

See "Executive Compensation - Stock Plan."
RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT
On January 17, 2000, we granted Barnum Mow, Chief Executive Officer and
President of our wholly-owned subsidiary, 1.2 million shares of our common
stock, in part, to provide an economic incentive to maximize our financial
results. These shares will be restricted shares, all shares were vested upon
grant and none are subject to any restrictions.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our corporate headquarters are located at 22 South Links Avenue, Suite
204, Sarasota, Florida 34236. Our corporate headquarters occupies about 2,017
square feet pursuant to a five year lease which will expire on June 30, 2004.
Most of our operations are conducted from a 39,640 square foot production and
warehouse facility in Gardena, California leased by our wholly-owned subsidiary.
This lease has a five year term, expiring on March 31, 2004. We believe our
existing facilities will be adequate for the foreseeable future.

POTENTIAL CHANGE OF CONTROL
To secure some of our indebtedness, Mr. Ingarfield pledged (i.e., tendered
shares of common stock to the lender as security for the indebtedness) 9,000,000
shares of common stock in our company. If we are unable to repay this
indebtedness when due or otherwise default on such indebtedness, then the lender
may foreclose on these shares of common stock in satisfaction of all or part of
such indebtedness. This would result in the lender becoming the owner of these
shares. As a result, the lender would be able to exert significant control over
our company.

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
38
<PAGE>
COMMON STOCK. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote
on each matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the election
of directors. There is no cumulative voting. Subject to preferences that may be
applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, shareholders are entitled to
receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by
the Board of Directors. Shareholders have no preemptive, conversion or other
subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
available to the common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of our company, shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution
rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
PREFERRED STOCK. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any
limitations prescribed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, or the rules of any
quotation system or national securities exchange on which stock of our company
may be quoted or listed, to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred
stock in one or more series; to establish from time to time the number of shares
to be included in each such series; to fix the rights, powers, preferences, and
privileges of the shares of such series, without any further vote or action by
the shareholders. Depending upon the terms of the preferred stock established by
the Board of Directors, any or all series of preferred stock could have
preference over the common stock with respect to dividends and other
distributions and upon liquidation of our company or could have voting or
conversion rights that could adversely affect the holders of the outstanding
common stock. The company has no present plans to issue any shares of preferred
stock.
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, BYLAWS AND
NEVADA LAW
The following provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
our company could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or
prevent a change in control of our company. Such provisions may also have the
effect of preventing changes in the management of our company, and preventing
shareholders from receiving a premium on their common stock.
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED STOCK. The authorized but unissued shares of
common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without
shareholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of
corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional
capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.
BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK. The existence of authorized but unissued and
unreserved shares of preferred stock may enable the Board of Directors to issue
shares to persons friendly to current management which would render more
difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of
a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise, and thereby protect the
continuity of our company's management.
NEVADA BUSINESS COMBINATION LAW. The State of Nevada has enacted
legislation that may deter or frustrate takeovers of Nevada corporations. The
Nevada Business Combination Law generally prohibits a Nevada corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an "interested shareholder" (defined
generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of our company or any person affiliated with such person) for a
period of three years following the date that such shareholder became an
interested shareholder, unless the combination or the purchase of shares made by
the interested shareholder on the interested shareholder's date of acquiring
shares is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before that
date. A corporation may not engage in any combination with an interested
shareholder of the corporation after the expiration of three years after his
date of acquiring shares unless:
o The combination or the purchase of shares made by the interested
shareholder is approved by the board of directors of the corporation
before the date such interested shareholder acquired such shares;
o A combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of
stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power not
beneficially owned by the interested shareholder proposing the
combination, or any affiliate or associate of the interested
shareholder proposing the combination, at a meeting called for that
purpose no earlier than three years after the interested
shareholder's date of acquiring shares; or
o The aggregate amount of cash and the market value, as of the date of
consummation, of consideration other than cash to be received per
share by all of the holders of outstanding common shares of the
39
<PAGE>
corporation not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder,
satisfies the fair value requirements of Section 78.441 of Nevada
Revised Statutes.
SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS. Special meetings of the shareholders of
our company may be called by its Board of Directors or other persons authorized
to do so under Nevada law. Under applicable Nevada law, shareholders do not have
the right to call a special meeting of the shareholders. This may have the
effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals and could delay or
prevent a change in control of our company by precluding a dissident shareholder
from forcing a special meeting to consider removing the Board of Directors or
otherwise.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
--------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors
Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp.
Sarasota, Florida
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Avid Sportswear
& Golf Corp. as of March 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
consolidated financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which
will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Avid Sportswear
& Golf Corp. as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein) and in our report dated February 26, 2000, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
This summary of significant accounting policies of Avid
Sportswear & Golf Corp. (formerly Golf Innovations Corp.) is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated
financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and
notes are representations of the Company's management which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting
policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements.
a. Organization and Business Activities
Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Nevada on September 19, 1997 as Golf Innovations
Corp. On April 19, 1999, the board of directors voted to change
the name of the Company to Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. to better
reflect the business of the Company. Additionally, the board of
directors voted to change the authorized capitalization to
50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.
On July 13, 1998, the board of directors authorized a 3-for-1
forward stock split. All references to common stock have been
retroactively restated. The rights and preferences of the
preferred stock are to be set at a later date. The Company is
engaged in the business of producing and selling golf wear
related products.
b. Depreciation
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
assets' estimated useful lives as follows:
Machinery and equipment 5-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-5 years
Show booths 5 years
Leasehold improvements 5 years
c. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared
using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a
December 31 year end.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
e. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION (Continued)
f. Basic Loss Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based
on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period of the financial statements as follows:
For the
Three Months Ended
March 31,
----------------------------
2000 1999
------------- ------------
Numerator (net loss) $ (2,581,056) $ (1,529,043)
Denominator (weighted 28,674,056 19,695,388
average number of shares ------------- -------------
outstanding
Loss per share $ (0.09) $ (0.08)
============ ============
Fully diluted loss per share is not presented as any common
stock equivalents are antidilutive in nature.
g. Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been accrued because the
Company has net operating losses from inception. The net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,000,000 at March
31, 2000 which expire in 2020. No tax benefit has been reported
in the financial statements because the Company is uncertain if
the carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential
tax benefits are offset by a valuation account of the same
amount.
h. Uninsured Corporate Cash Balances
The Company maintains its corporate cash balances at two banks.
Corporate cash accounts at banks are insured by the FDIC for up
to $100,000. Amounts in excess of insured limits were
approximately $400,000 at March 31, 2000.
i. Goodwill
Goodwill generated from the purchase of Avid Sportswear, Inc. is
amortized over a ten-year life using the straight-line method.
The Company will evaluate the recoverability of the goodwill
annually. Any impairment of goodwill will be realized in the
period it is recognized per the requirements of SFAS No. 121.
j. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company's accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance
for doubtful accounts of $177,202 and $184,912 at March 31, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively.
k. Reclassification
Certain March 31, 2000 balances have been reclassified to conform
with the March 31, 1999 financial statement presentation.

net sales of the licensed products for calendar year 2002 are at
least $17.0 million and (ii) our wholly-owned subsidiary has not

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp.
(Formerly Golf Innovations Corp.)
Carson, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Avid Sportswear &
Golf Corp. (formerly Golf Innovations Corp.) as of December 31, 1999 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avid Sportswear &
Golf Corp. (formerly Golf Innovations Corp.) as of December 31, 1999 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the
financial statements, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current
assets of $1,295,146 and has generated significant losses for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998. These items raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 13. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

AVID SPORTSWEAR & GOLF CORP.
(Formerly Golf Innovations Corp.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
This summary of significant accounting policies of Avid Sportswear &
Golf Corp. (formerly Golf Innovations Corp.) is presented to assist in
understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the
Company's management which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
a. Organization and Business Activities
Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Nevada on September 19, 1997 as Golf Innovations Corp. On
April 19, 1999, the board of directors voted to change the name of the
Company to Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. to better reflect the business
of the Company. Additionally, the board of directors voted to change
the authorized capitalization to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with
a par value of $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a
par value of $0.001. On July 13, 1998, the board of directors
authorized a 3-for-1 forward stock split. All references to common
stock have been retroactively restated. The rights and preferences of
the preferred stock are to be set at a later date. The Company is
engaged in the business of producing and selling golf wear related
products.
b. Depreciation
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
assets' estimated useful lives as follows:
Machinery and equipment 5-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-5 years
Show booths 5 years
Leasehold improvements 5 years
c. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the
accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31
year end.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
e. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from the estimates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION (Continued)
f. Basic Loss Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the
financial statements as follows:
For the Years Ended
December 31,
------------
1999 1998
Numerator (net loss) $ (5,035,978) $ (521,548)
Denominator (weighted average number
of shares outstanding) 20,264,997 12,077,400
------------ -------------
Loss per share $ (0.25) $ (0.04)
============ ============
Fully diluted loss per share is not presented as any common stock
equivalents are antidilutive in nature.
g. Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been accrued because the Company has
net operating losses from inception. The net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $5,200,000 at December 31, 1999 which
expire in 2019. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements because the Company is uncertain if the carryforwards will
expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits are offset by a
valuation account of the same amount.
h. Uninsured Corporate Cash Balances
The Company maintains its corporate cash balances at two banks.
Corporate cash accounts at banks are insured by the FDIC for up to
$100,000. Amounts in excess of insured limits were approximately
$80,000 at December 31, 1999.
i. Change in Accounting Principle
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which requires companies to record
derivatives as assets or liabilities, measured at fair market value.
Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the
derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key
criterion for hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship must be
highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash
flows. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes the adoption
of this statement will have no material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

NOTE 6 - PURCHASE OF AVID SPORTSWEAR, INC.
On December 18, 1998, the Company entered into a stock purchase and
sales agreement (Agreement) with Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp. (formerly
Golf Innovations Corp.) (GFIO), a Nevada corporation. This Agreement
was finalized on March 1, 1999. The Agreement called for GFIO to
purchase all of the outstanding stock of the Company for $725,000 and
1,100,000 shares of GFIO stock. Additionally, GFIO was to pay off all
of the notes payable to the shareholders of the Company and the notes
payable to Nations Bank, fka Bank IV. The total amounts of these notes
was $1,826,119 at the date of closing.
The following is a proforma consolidated balance sheet and income
statement reflecting the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of common stock
by GFIO to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Company as though the purchase occurred on December 31, 1998 and
for the year ended December 31, 1998. The acquisition of the Company by
GFIO was accounted for as a purchase of the Company by GFIO on March 1,
1999. The actual purchase generated goodwill of $2,559,331. The
difference between the actual goodwill and the proforma goodwill is the
result of the Company's operations from December 31, 1998 to the date
of closing. The goodwill will be amortized over a 10-year period. Any
impairment of goodwill will be recognized in the year it is realized.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 78.751 of Nevada Revised Statutes provides, in effect, that any
person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of our company may and, in certain cases,
must be indemnified by our company against, in the case of a non-derivative
action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in
the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company and in any
criminal proceeding in which such person had reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was lawful.. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative
action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer,
employee or agent is liable to our company, unless upon court order it is
determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for expenses.
As authorized by Section 78.037 of Nevada Revised Statutes, our Articles
of Incorporation eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to our
company or to any of its shareholders for monetary damage for a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for:
o Acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or
knowing violation of law; or
o The payment of distributions in violation of Section 78.300 of
Nevada Revised Statutes.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Such indemnification
applies in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding.
The Company maintains an insurance policy that provides protection, within
the maximum liability limits of the policy and subject to a deductible amount
for certain claims, to our company.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director or officer as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we
aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification
by any director or officer.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Sections 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be a bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the BONA FIDE offering thereof.
